Hello, I am DHRUV. This Presentation Includes some pictorial representation as well as information about Nuclear Weapons, missiles, bombs, and small weapons. I made this using information from google only. Hope you will like that.
Cruise missiles form a major part of modern warfare and have spread extensively to all branches of the military. Their effective use in a modern conflict can change the outcome of war without resorting to nuclear weapons. Improvements in cruise missile technology will see more intelligent, self-manoeuvring and hypersonic missiles flood the world market. But whatever happens, cruise missiles will remain one of the most reliable weapons for the foreseeable future.
Aerodynamic characterisitics of a missile componentseSAT Journals
Abstract
A Missile is a self-propelled guided weapon system that travels through air or space. A powered, guided munitions that travels through the air or space is known as a missile (or guided missile). The Missile is defined as a space transversing unmanned vehicle that contains the means for controlling its flight path. The aerodynamic characteristics of a missile components such as body, wing and tail are calculated by using analytical methods to predict the drag and the normal forces of the missile. The total drag of the body is computed by using the parasite drag, wave drag, skin friction drag and base drag. The wing surface normal force coefficient (CN)Wing is a function of Mach number, local angle of attack, aspect ratio, and the wing surface plan form area (CN)Wing , based on the missile reference area, decreases with increasing supersonic Mach number and increases with angle of attack and the wing surface area. When the wing surface area is reduced the total weight of the missile and drag are reduced thereby increasing the lift and achieve excessive stability.
Keywords—Aerodynamics, drag, missile, normal forces and stability

Island Air Defence: Challenges, Novel Surveillance Concepts and Advanced Rada...Ashwin Samales
By Yeo Siew Yam, Yeo Jiunn Wah and Henry Yip
The present-day air defence surveillance system is designed to detect threats originating from external airspace in a conventional military conflict, such as one involving multiple fast-flying fighters, helicopters and missiles. However, the operational environment has evolved to be far more challenging and complex over the past decade, with the emergence of stealthier targets that make better use of terrain to avoid detection. At the same time, there is always a desire to see further than the enemy and to obtain more information about the target. This paper aims to identify the inadequacies of the present-day air defence radar system and to propose some novel sensor solutions which include Ultra High Frequency/ Very High Frequency radar, bi-static/multi-static and passive radar, elevated sensors, High Frequency surface wave radar and non-cooperative target recognition techniques. The advantages, challenges and cost effectiveness of these advanced techniques will be analysed to develop a picture of future surveillance systems.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

In modern military usage, a missile, or guided missile, is a self-
propelled guided weapon system, as opposed to an unguided self-
propelled munition, referred to as a rocket. Missiles have four
system components: targeting and/or guidance, flight system,
engine, and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for
different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface
missiles (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank, etc.), surface-to-air
missiles (anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic), air-to-air missiles, and
anti-satellite missiles.
4. 4
The word missile comes from the Latin verb mittere, literally meaning
"to send".
They are basically rockets which are meant for destructive purposes
only.
Missiles differ from rockets by virtue of a guidance system that steers
them towards a pre-selected target.
Missiles are often used in warfare as a means of delivering destructive
force (usually in the form of an explosive warhead) upon a target.
Aside from explosives, other possible types of destructive missile
payloads are various forms of chemical or biological agents, nuclear
warheads, or simple kinetic energy (where the missile destroys the
target by the force of striking it at high speed).
INTRODUCTION
5. Rockets were invented in medieval China (1044 AD) but its first practical
use for serious purpose took place in 1232 AD by the Chinese against
the Mongols.
There after Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan (Sultan of Mysore in south India)
perfected the rocket's use for military purposes, very effectively using
it in war against British colonial armies.
At the Battle of Seringapatanam in 1792, Indian soldiers launched a huge
barrage of rockets against British troops, followed by a huge massacre of
British forces.

HISTORY AT A GLANCE
6. Portrait of Tipu Sultan
Sultan of Mysore, now
Karnataka, India
Unlike contemporary rockets whose
combustion chamber was made of wood
(bamboo), Tipu's rockets (weighing between
2.2 to 5.5 kg) used iron cylinder casings
that allowed greater pressure, thrust and
range (1.5 to 2.5 Km). The British were
greatly impressed by the Mysorean rockets
using iron tubes.

7. Guided missiles are made up of a series of subassemblies. The major sections
are carefully joined and connected to each other. They form the complete
missile assembly.
The major components of a missile are:
WARHEAD
FUSING
PROPULSION SYSTEM
GUIDANCE SYSTEM
MISSILE COMPONENTS
7
10. WARHEAD:-
A warhead is an explosive device used in military conflicts, used to destroy
enemy vehicles or buildings.
Typically, a warhead is delivered by a missile , rocket or torpedo. It consists of
the explosive material, and a detonator.
FUSING:-
It includes those devices and arrangements that cause the missile's payload to
function in proper relation to the target.
There are two general types of fuzes used in guided missiles •proximity fuzes
and contact fuzes.
10
11. 11
• A proximity fuze is a kind of fuze that detonates an
explosive device automatically when the distance to the target
becomes smaller than a predetermined value. Proximity fuzes are
designed for targets such as planes, missiles, ships at sea and
ground forces. They provide a more sophisticated trigger
mechanism than the common or timed fuze or contact type fuze.
• A contact fuze, percussion fuze is that placed in the nose of a
shell so that it will detonate on contact with a hard surface. Many
impacts are unpredictable: they may involve a soft surface, or an off-
axis grazing impact. The pure contact fuze is often unreliable in such
cases and so a more sensitive graze fuze or inertia fuze is used
instead.
13. 13
ATMOSPHERIC JET PROPULSION SYSTEM.
There are three types of atmospheric jet propulsion systems
the turbojet, pulsejet, and ramjet engines. Of these three
systems, only the turbojet engine is currently being used in
modern missiles.
TURBOJET –
The turbojet is the oldest kind of general-purpose air
breathing jet engine.
Compared to turbofans, turbojets are quite inefficient if
flown below about Mach 2 and are very noisy.
As a result, most modern aircraft use turbofans instead for
economic reasons, although turbojets are still common in
medium range cruise missiles, due to their high exhaust
speed, low frontal area, and relative simplicity.
14. 14
Turbojet engine
RAMJET –
A ramjet uses the engine's forward motion to compress incoming air,
without a rotary compressor.
Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed, thus they cannot
move an aircraft from a standstill
15. 15
Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3.
This type of engine can operate up to speeds of Mach 6.
Ramjets can be particularly useful in applications requiring a small and
simple mechanism for high-speed use, such as missiles or artillery
shells.
Ramjets employ a continuous combustion process.
16. 16
PULSEJET –
A pulse jet engine (or pulsejet) is a type of jet engine in
which combustion occurs in pulses.
Pulsejet engines can be made with few or no moving parts
, and are capable of running statically.
Pulse jet engines are a lightweight form of jet propulsion,
but usually have a poor compression ratio , and hence give a
low specific impulse
17. 17
Solid Propellant Engines-The combustion chamber of a solid propellant
rocket contains the charge of solid propellant. Solid propellant charges
are of two basic types: restricted burning and unrestricted burning.
HYBRID PROPULSION -A hybrid engine combines the use of liquid
and solid propellant. The liquid is the oxidizer and the solid is the
propellant. Ignition is usually hypergolic, that is, spontaneous ignition
takes place upon contact of the oxidizer with the propellant
18. 18
GUIDANCE SYSTEM
Missiles may be targeted in a number of ways. The most
common method is to use some form of radiation , such
as infrared , lasers or radio waves , to guide the missile
onto its target.
There are two types of guidance system
i. fire-and-forget
ii. Another method is to use a TV camera—using
either visible light or infra-red—in order to see the
target.
19. 19
Laser Guidance - A laser designator device calculates relative position
to a highlighted target. Most are familiar with the military uses of the
technology on Laser-guided bomb. The space shuttle crew leverages a
hand held device to feed information into rendezvous planning. The
primary limitation on this device is that it requires a line of
sight between the target and the designator.
20. Infrared homing : This form of guidance is used exclusively for military
munitions, specifically air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. The missile’s
seeker head homes in on the infrared (heat) signature from the target’s
engines (hence the term “heat-seeking missile”).
20
Wire-Guidance -A wire-guided missile is a missile guided by signals sent
to it via thin wires reeled out during flight.
Global Positioning System (GPS) - GPS was designed by the US
military. GPS transmits 2 signal types: military and a commercial. GPS
is a system of 24 satellites orbiting in unique planes 10.9-14.4 Nautical
miles above the earth. The Satellites are in well defined orbits and
transmit highly accurate time information which can be used to
triangulate position.
23. CLASSIFICATION
Range:-
Long-range guided missiles are usually capable of traveling a distance of at
least 100 miles.
Short-range guided missiles often do not exceed the range capabilities of
long-range guns.
Speed:-
The speed capability of guided missiles is expressed in Mach numbers. A Mach
number is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the
medium through which the object is moving. Under standard atmospheric
conditions, sonic speed is about 766 miles per hour (Mach 1.0). Guided missiles
are classified according to their speed as shown below:
Subsonic—Up to Mach 0.8
Transonic—Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2
Supersonic—Mach 1.2 to Mach 5.0
Hypersonic—Above Mach 5.0
23
24. Mode Of Fire
An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the
purpose of destroying another aircraft.
An air-to-surface missile (ASM) is a missile designed to be launched
from military aircraft (bombers , attack aircraft, fighter aircraft or other
kinds) and strike ground targets on land, at sea, or both.
An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is a missile designed to counter ballistic
missiles. Ballistic missiles are used to deliver nuclear, chemical, biological or
conventional warheads in a ballistic flight trajectory. The term "anti-ballistic
missile" describes any antimissile system designed to counter ballistic
missiles.
,.
24
25. 25
Anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) are designed to incapacitate or
destroy satellites for strategic military purposes. Currently, only
the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of
China are known to have developed these weapons.
Anti-ship missiles are guided missiles that are designed for use against
ships and large boats. Most anti-ship missiles are of the sea
skimming variety, and many use a combination of inertial
guidance and radar homing.
An anti-submarine missile is a standoff weapon including
a rocket designed to rapidly deliver an explosive warhead or
homing torpedo from the launch platform to the vicinity of a submarine.
A cruise missile is a guided missile, the major portion of whose flight path
to its target (a land-based or sea-based target) is conducted at
approximately constant velocity; that relies on the dynamic reaction of air
for lift, and upon propulsion forces to balance drag.
26. 26
An anti-tank missile (ATM), anti-tank guided missile (ATGM),is
a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily-
armored military vehicles.
A surface-to-air missile (SAM), or ground-to-air missile (GTAM),
is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to
destroy aircraft or other missiles
A surface-to-surface missile (SSM) or ground-to-ground
missile (GGM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground
or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea.
